The monarchic title Grand Duke is or was used in some independent nations or states in Europe, particularly:
Grand Duke ranks in order of precedence below Emperor and King, and above that of sovereign Prince and sovereign Duke.
A female reigning monarch bearing the title (or simply the consort of a Grand Duke) is called a Grand Duchess. A nation or state ruled by a sovereign Grand Duke is called a Grand Duchy. The heir apparent to the throne of a Grand Duchy is called a Hereditary Grand Duke. At present, Luxembourg is the only nation with a sovereign Grand Duke as its head of state (since 1815).

Gender is the range of characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between, masculinity and femininity. Depending on the context, these characteristics may include biological sex (i.e. the state of being male, female or intersex), sex-based social structures (including gender roles and other social roles), or gender identity.
Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories. However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the concept of a distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Today, the distinction is strictly followed in some contexts, especially the social sciences and documents written by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, in many other contexts, including some areas of social sciences, gender includes sex or replaces it. Although this change in the meaning of gender can be traced to the 1980s, a small acceleration of the process in the scientific literature was observed in 1993 when the USA's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) started to use gender instead of sex. In 2011, the FDA reversed its position and began using sex as the biological classification and gender as "a person's self representation as male or female, or how that person is responded to by social institutions based on the individual's gender presentation." In non-human animal research, gender is also commonly used to refer to the physiology of the animals.
